Growing up in a time when computers and iPhones didn’t exist, and now living and raising children in a digital age MIll Valley resident and artist Megan Donnelly draws influence in her work from the fact that her generation will be that last that has viewed the world through a non-digital lens. 

Donnelly showcases those paintings – acylic on wood panels – at the Mill Valley Chamber (85 Throckmorton Ave.) throughout October, as well as for a wine reception on Oct. 2 (5:30-7:30pm) as part of the Mill Valley Arts Commission‘s First Tuesday Artwalk.

Donnelly’s paintings explore the abstract idea of a mood or ambiance of certain places or things, with other inspiration coming from “design and nature, but especially from travel (real or imagined),” she says. “The combinations of memories from places and objects often generate the spark that engage me in using certain colors and shapes – always trying to evoke a certain feeling in the painting.”
